We're breaking down some of the landmark decisions from this SCOTUS term.
ACLU Supporter, with the Supreme Court issuing their final rulings of the term, we're breaking down what those decisions mean for our rights – and what we can do next.
U.S. v. Skrmetti
* What happened? The Supreme Court upheld disastrous state bans denying families of transgender youth the right to gender-affirming medical care. But we have tools to fight back against Trump's assault on our freedoms.
* What's next? Our legal team is continuing to tackle attacks on trans rights – with major wins blocking President Trump's order withholding federal funds from medical providers who provide gender-affirming care and his order denying accurate passports to trans people. Join the fight by demanding Congress protect trans rights now. <[link removed]>
Mahmoud v. Taylor
* What happened? The Supreme Court ruled that public schools must allow religious opt-outs from lessons, including LGBTQ-themed materials. This decision will impact schools' ability to create an inclusive environment and curriculum and could limit students' education.
* What's next? We're still fighting other forms of censorship in schools, including in places where parents are pushing schools to take LGBTQ materials off the shelves altogether. Join us in defending students' right to learn. <[link removed]>
Louisiana v. Callais
* What happened? This Louisiana redistricting case will be re-argued next term. We'll continue advocating for fair district maps that give Black voters meaningful and equitable political power.
* What's next? As our legal team prepares for re-argument, we're fighting for voting rights in Congress as well. Tell Congress to reject the SAVE Act, which threatens the voting rights of millions by erecting needless barriers to voting. <[link removed]>
Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton
* What happened? The Supreme Court upheld a Texas law requiring invasive age verification to access sexual content online – and while this ruling is limited to sexual content only, it still greenlights a law that requires users to disclose personal information that could be vulnerable to data breaches in order to access such content online.
* What's next? We're continuing to fight for free speech. In the midst of one of the biggest attacks on our freedom of speech since the Red Scare, urge Congress to defend our right to dissent. <[link removed]>
Trump v. CASA, Inc.
* What happened? The Supreme Court opened the door for partial enforcement of President Trump's clearly unconstitutional order attacking birthright citizenship if the courts do not take further action to block it by late July.
* What's next? The ACLU immediately filed a nationwide class action lawsuit, urging the courts to act quickly to block this order for all U.S.-born children across the country. At the same time, we're taking the fight for immigrants' rights to Congress. Call on your representatives to vote no on the bill that would give $170 billion for immigration enforcement to carry out this order and supercharge the Trump administration's deportation machine. <[link removed]>
ACLU Supporter, as the Supreme Court goes on recess for the summer, our legal team is keeping up the work for our rights – fighting in courts across the country. And we're so grateful to supporters like you, who help us keep up the fight and put pressure on Congress to defend our rights.
We'll keep you updated as each of these fights continue.
Together,
The ACLU Team
